Oh good, I was waiting for that one

Thank you for sharing. What an interesting read!
Gotta love an obscure game can be playable in Linux 😎
If diarrhea is so great, why did they never make a diarrhea 2?

My son would enjoy this
Proton is amazing! Most of the games I want to play are as good l, or better on Linux.
💯 I use Linux as my daily driver and don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything. It’s come such a long way! Still not perfect but it’s really incredible
since I quit playing multiplayer games due to toxicity there is really nothing I miss from windows
How is the current Nvidia driver situation on Linux? I wanted to give it a shot on my gaming PC for a long time now but was deterred by the various driver horror stories…
people always complain about nvidia drivers on linux, but personally my experience has never required anything more than
sudo apt install nvidia-driverArch is similarly this easy. I think where I usually see the most people complaining is when a new shiny version of the driver has come out and they try to update manually, breaking system packages and borking their system.
I’m not saying I have personally done this before. Nope. Not saying that at all…
Returning Arch user (absent since 2008/9) here, using Plasma Wayland. Overall a positive experience but there’s lots of little finicky things to setup, and I haven’t tried using linux-zen like in my EndeavorOS work laptop, I imagine that’s a bit more finicky with DKMS.
Nothing out of the ordinary for Arch thus far though, just manual configuration.
Cyberpunk, Witcher and Mount & Blade II won’t boot for me on Nvidia. I have to use Windows in VM or dual boot for those games
@DaPorkchop_ @Echolot nice

You don’t need to do work around for nvidia GPU’s for VM’s anymore, works pretty much the same as AMD

Looks like that wiki page is out of date, you no longer need to dump your bios and patch it. I’ve never really found a need to control the host when running a VM, but SSH is a decent option if you only plan to use terminal apps.
Have you set up a VM with KVM and it’s working? There shouldn’t be much else to do, just install your gpu drivers and play some games, or run your windows application :)
Not great for my use case but your mileage may vary I need very high res with 240hz which is only in beta drivers atm so it’s very difficult to find a distro I can use without messing about
X11 and multi monitors is also a mess.
I also have a 240hz but it works fine? I’ve never heard of this, although I still hate the nvidia drivers for many things
Running Arch and Steam on an HP Omen with 3060 GPU and have no problems. I do play older games tho.
I’m a Plasma on Wayland enjoyer, running a 1080ti, and pretty much every bug I’ve encountered since I’ve started using Linux has been resolved. There’s probably some stuff I don’t know about, purely because it doesn’t affect me, but it’s been smooth sailing here
I’ve been using Linux full time on my desktop since 2019 and while I don’t think I’ll buy nvidia again, the experience in the meanwhile has been fine. The things I can do with my computer are much more limited, especially when it comes to Wayland. But assuming you’re just using your computer like a normal person you can stick to Xorg and basically have a totally normal computer experience.
Personally, one of the worst parts about nvidia proprietary drivers with Wayland is that I cannot use the night light feature in Gnome, which makes my display unreasonably uncomfortable during night time usage. When will nvidia provide the necessary support for the thing that makes it work? Who knows.
Ancient computer and nvidia card here. Not sure what Gnome’s nightlight is ultimately based on, but you might try Redshift or f.lux which - I assume - do pretty much the same thing.
I’ve used both and am currently using Redshift. f.lux stopped working for me a few years ago and I haven’t bothered trying to find out if that was a fluke and whether it will work again now. Redshift uses geolocation by default, but that can be turned off.
I would bother but I have other issues with nvidia+wayland so I just stick to xorg, which seems to be the thing nvidia really supports.
tbh it’s overblown. I have been holding off on wayland for this and various other reasons, but gaming on x11 with nvidia proprietary drivers is fine. The only difficulties I’ve ever run into is installing/updating the package using a distro-specific method. I’ve never hit a driver bug.
The drivers break in some way or another often, but you can recover if you are good w Linux… if not stick with AMD.
I’m currently using pop os with an etc 3070, and I haven’t noticed any major issues. I had some weird glitches on fedora because they use the open source driver by default, but using the proprietary Nvidia driver is totally usable. I even got ray tracing working on cyberpunk 2077
I recently switched to Linux for my daily driver. I picked Nobara. It installed, detected my card, and installed drivers. Pretty straightforward. That said, performance isn’t the same. I have just been playing Elden Ring and I am getting the fps, but there’s some stutter and screen tearing even with VRR active. Also, ray tracing isn’t a default, you need to add some stuff to your Steam launch.
Overall if you are looking to switch, get a new drive and start Linux on that. Keep your old Windows setup. At least that worked for me. Now I only boot Windows to mod Skyrim since I haven’t gotten that ironed out in Linux.
What’s the mean time for integration into SteamOS?
Proton updates are delivered through the normal game update system, so they’re usually pretty fast.
Looks like it’s already available

And you haven’t thought about remounting your cpu with new thermal paste or getting a cooler more fitting for your setup? This just sounds like windows being able to get more out of your hardware.
deleted by creator
Not for fixing windows but if it really is overheating, fix it before its too late. Even the cheap thermal paste would do if its not a high end one and its pretty easy to change paste anyway.

Is it still in warranty by any chance? It really shouldn’t be overheating to the point that it reboots, windoes or not.
Build instructions: docker
nope.
